Therapeutic antibody may enhance snake venom toxicity, test shows after DTU researchers slightly changed how they tested an antibody that had previously shown promise as an antidote to snake venom from Bothrops Asper. Credit: Andrew DuBoisA promising antibody failed testing. This is good news for developing a broad-spectrum antidote against the world’s most dangerous snake venoms.What makes a soldier switch sides? That is a really good question. Especially when the soldier is an antibody that is supposed to defend the…

In 2021, Turkish scientist Hamdi Ucar discovered a novel form of magnetic levitation, where a rapidly rotating magnet caused a nearby magnet to levitate. This phenomenon, which defied classical physics, was replicated and studied by Professor Rasmus Bjørk and his team. They found that the levitating magnet aligns with the spinning magnet, creating an equilibrium akin to a spinning top.

Illustration of the core of the photonic cavity that was fabricated as two halves that assembled themselves into one unit. The cavity confines light inside the gap, which is only a few atoms wide as indicated in the field of view of the magnifying glass. Credit: Thor A. S. Weis In a new Nature paper, two nanotechnology approaches converge by employing a new generation of fabrication technology. It combines the scalability of semiconductor technology with the atomic dimensions enabled by self-assembly. A central goal in…
